Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! One lucky lottery player became a millionaire overnight after winning the Powerball jackpot worth $231 million.
A lucky Powerball player from Delaware purchased a winning ticket that matched all five numbers, plus the Powerball, drawn on Monday, April 6, winning the $231 million grand prize, according to Powerball's website.
Once the winner claims their prize, they can choose to receive annuitized payments or a one-time lump-sum amount of $104.9 million. At this time, no one has claimed the jackpot.
Since the jackpot was won, it has since reset back to $20 million ahead of the drawing on Wednesday, April 8.
The win marks the third time a player beat the odds and won the Powerball jackpot in 2026. The first occurred on Jan. 21, when a player from North Carolina won the $209.3 million prize, according to Powerball. The second 2026 grand prize, a $250.8 million jackpot, was won in Arkansas on March 2.
